Other info. - This species can be found in the Ozark region of Missouri and is fairly common. It is easily identified in the field because of its divided, opposite leaves, large yellow flowers, and viscid stems (which are covered with glandular hairs).
The plant is worthy of cultivation and would do well in a dry area with little or no care.
The species epithet of this plant derives from the fact that its leaves closely resemble those of another genus in the family, Pedicularis.
